Weekly Photo: Chowmahalla Palace – Hyderabad

One of several palaces that used to house the Nizams of Hyderabad back in the day and how is used mostly as a tourist site and museum. It was the official residence of the Nizams during their rule of Hyderabad up until they were exiled after Indian Independence. It is believed to be modeled after the Shah’s palace in Iran. If you do find yourself in Hyderabad, hopefully you’ll get a chance to visit. I’ll try to write up a visit post soon as well!
